Developed by a research team
in the US, SimSensei is a system that can diagnose depression in a patient by
analysing their movements during an interview. Using Kinect technology from the
Microsoft Xbox 360 console, a computer interviews an individual and analyses
the body language that indicates depression, providing a diagnosis at the end
of the digital consultation. SimSensei is a software package that can be loaded
onto the Microsoft Xbox 360 and provides you with a psychological consultation
on the TV screen in your living room.
